yes you can, I do it sometimes but only if I am in a rush because it is hard to squeeze out the air. 4 oz and 8 oz drop-ins are the same ring size, the 4 oz ones are just "shorter".

Yes. I was able to fit three 8 oz and and a small (4oz?) as long as I took the ice pack out.

This is the 1st Machine I've ever Used, Nothing to compare it with, so I'm assuming it just is the 'AVERAGE' size? Good Luck! PS, GREAT MACHINE! I've had it well over a year, use it every day, & I've NEVER had a Problem!

smallest I have used is about 22ga [x3/4" flat].issues might come with using stock wider than 2-3" or thicker than 4 or 6 ga .there are a lot of variables ie. width, diameter/thickness, material, etc. the unit is made of steel and [mine has] well-accepted the stress of heavier projects so 'lighter' ones should be no problem.

I did it once with no problem. You may want to get the 6 cup one, or you will end up doing it in a couple of batches. If you are used to that, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Strange that everyone is ordering the same 7 oz cups but having different answers here. Mine was 2 inches tall externally and only held 4 oz!! FOUR!!!!!! They obviously tried to rip me off by giving me a different product.

It depends. Sometimes I use 8oz. setting and if I want stronger then 6. For my kids I use 8oz. setting.

I have only used 2 sticks at a time (8oz) It's a tight squeeze but it can be done. Not sure about 16 oz.

Thank you for the advice! I've tested 2 of the included samples using 9-10oz and using the pulse button and it's not to bad... like I said I'm pretty bland when it comes to my coffee :) I bet a 12gram pod and maybe using pulse will be perfect! There aren't any reusable pods yet for this machine that would let me use my own ground coffee are there?

I always do a smaller load. If you want to do a large load they suggest using two boxes.

I do these in an 8 x 8 gym I constructed at our office and that tends to be more than enough room. The gym is much larger because of other machines, but my space for doing these is just under 8 x 8. You could probably getaway with a tad smaller depending on your height. But back when I lived in a tiny apartment I was able to make these work.

Along with the VacMaster Pro 260, I purchased a 8" Roll by 50' storage roll. This item is smooth and worked fine. I used the VacMaster Pro 260 for the first time last week. I processed 35 lbs. of fillets into 1 lb. vacuum sealed packages. I was terribly disappointed in the Vac Pro 260. The machine is very slow in processing and extremely noisy. Plus, the 8" bags I purchased did not fit into the machine for sizing. Had to size everything with a pair of scissors. GOOD LUCK

I like my coffee a littler stronger, so I put two well rounded spoonfuls of coffee in the pod and that is near capacity. The machine's instructions say it works best with 71mm size pods. This machine works great - hope this is helpful.

Hi, I use the full 12 oz. because I like my latte very milky. I think you could go as low as 4-6 oz. and it would still work. This could be the BEST gadget I have in my kitchen...my morning, afternoon, and evening coffee have never been better...LOVE this machine:)

it recommends 4 lbs - 2 bags which I used. I don't think it would flow as nicely with less.
